According to TSN.ua: Singer LELÉKA will represent Ukraine at the Eurovision Song Contest 2026, scheduled for May 2026 in Vienna. She is set to perform the track Ridnym at the Wiener Stadthalle arena. So far, no expenses have been incurred because her team is still in the early stages of assembling a budget for the performance.

LELÉKA has confirmed that every member of her team is currently working on a volunteer basis.

“At this point, I can say there are no expenses. There’s nothing to spend yet. We’re building the budget and gathering all our ideas,”

“The amounts are gigantic. Everything at Eurovision costs a lot. I couldn’t have imagined the numbers were this high—and that we have to find the funding ourselves.”

Sponsor Search Underway

LELÉKA also plans to seek sponsors to finance her Eurovision appearance. Taking part in this international competition marks a major milestone for the singer and her team, and they are hopeful about securing the resources needed to successfully bring their project to life.

LELÉKA’s participation in Eurovision 2026 highlights the growing presence of Ukrainian music on the global stage, especially amid current challenges. Like many contestants, she and her team face significant financial hurdles, and their success will hinge on their ability to attract sponsors. This situation could also send a powerful message to other Ukrainian artists aiming for international recognition.
